Avatars don't even show up for me on this board, and I haven't figured out why. I never turned them off!

That's what I meant by "I never turned them off". They're on in Chrome, they're off in IE8 and I made sure to add the boards to the trusted site, nothing blocked, blah blah blah.

Hmm...while I laud the warning posted here, I wonder why not doing so in game, as by all accounts only a fraction of patrons actually visit here.

Notice of this rule pops up every time you log into the game. It's right there in the EULA that you click "I Agree" on.
[/ QUOTE ]Even people who bypass the loader (as I've read some people do) agree to it just by playing.

True. Everyone has agreed to the EULA at least once upon install, then once per patch. Circumventing it afterward does not nullify your previous agreements.

Heh, I'm afraid that yours is one of the avatar's I have to hit escape to stop the animation from playing. Thankfully IE and Firefox both will suspend playing animated gif's when you hit the escape key.

No problem and sorry about your avatar. I think it the speed it moves. seeing it out of the edge of my eye when I'm trying to read is distracting. The basic avatar is cool. Having it going while I'm trying to read was sadly distracting. Which is a shame. That is why I tend to us the esc key rather than blocking avatars though. I can still see the cool avatar's and stop them then so they aren't distracting.

First off, your Avatar is extremely irritating.
Maybe that's the point.
It is so annoying that I had to cover it up in order to read your post. I won't be doing this again if I come across this same Avatar again.

Mozilla add on - "Adblock Plus." Right click image, add to filter - no more avatar. Something similar probably exists for IE. Far more fine-grained than the built in "block entire site." You can block a specific image, specific directory (which would be the specific user in this case, as well,) etc.

Thanks, Bill. I just snagged that add-on.

you mean that wall of text that flickers in the middle of my double-click on the 'Next' button? 
I also have used firefox for years now and didn't know about the esc doing any more than 'stop loading' on a page, ty

The notice is there. Not reading it doesn't absolve responsibility for it.
